Hi,
I have an Asus A7V266-E motherboard, on IDE1 I have a maxtor 20GB hard drive on Master, with an 80GB hard drive on Slave.
The Bios recognizes both, but Windows only sees the 20GB drive.
On IDE2 I have a CD-R and DVD-Rom.
Does anybody have any ideas?

Make sure the jumpers on the slave drive are set correctly, do you have a separate OS on each drive?

OK I fixed it.
I had to partition the new drive using the Maxtor MaxBlast software. The new drive didn't come with that software however, but it came with my first (20GB drive).

Thanks for all your help! :D
